Lewis's video reminisced about a moment from two years ago when a Swiss crowd at OpenAir St Gallen rallied in support during his absence, as reported by The Mirror.
On Instagram, Lewis expressed gratitude to his fans: "You filled in for me when I couldn't be there.", reports the Daily Record.
In a video, he returns the favour, stepping onto the stage amidst roaring cheers and declaring: "Switzerland 2025 I wanted to make it up to you."
After acknowledging the enthusiastic reception from the audience, he announced triumphantly: "My name's Lewis Capaldi and I'm f***ing back baby. Here we go."
During his performance, Lewis paused to soak up the love from the crowd, visibly moved as they sang along.
He concluded his performance with laughter, touched by the sight of fans gesturing love hearts with their hands.
In response, devotees flocked to the comment section on Instagram, eager to throw their support behind the beloved musician.
One fan exclaimed: "The LEGEND IS BACK," while another enthused: "What a comeback," and included a love heart emoji.
A third shared their affection, saying: "You are so incredibly loved. It was great to see you on that stage," and an additional fan remarked: "This is why we need to support each other with understanding, support and grace. I LOVE this. And it's very, very helpful and inspiring. Brilliant! Blessings to all."
Lewis has marked his emotional return to music with the release of his first new song in two years.
His hint at a fresh track caused a stir across social media when he posted a teaser on Instagram just hours before taking the stage at Glastonbury.
Titled 'Survive', the new single holds significant meaning for the BRIT Award-winning artist, who has navigated through personal mental health challenges while pausing his music career.
Captioning the video clip, Lewis simply stated: "It's been a while."
True to form, Lewis's latest tune poignantly resonates with heartfelt lyrics.
The song features potent lines such as "I swear to God I'll survive" and "I'm going to get up and live until the day that I die."

A day in the life of a tennis star at Wimbledon: Brit DAN EVANS reveals all... from sushi to taped feet
Let's start with where I'm staying. One of the things that makes this fortnight unique is that most players, certainly Brits and big names, tend to rent apartments or houses in Wimbledon Village rather than stay in hotels. There's a website where people rent out their homes for the tournament - every year there's a dash for the best places! The top boys will get a big house for their whole team and tend to stay in the same place each year. We've got a nice place, just me and my wife Aleah, and it's just a walk across the common to the All England Club.

Meghan's As Ever jam is actually made in factory 2,000 miles from Montecito
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had claimed the first batches of her latest As Ever products, including her jam and £21-a-jar honey, had sold out within hours of release A jam Meghan Markle has released under her new brand As Ever is actually made 2,000 miles from her mansion. The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' Californian property. However, it has now been revealed the jam - which Meghan sells for £6.50 per jar - is produced in a factory in Illinois, some 2,000 miles from Montecito. It is actually manufactured by the same US giant which sells Meghan's £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21-a-jar – although it is not known whether it manufactures her newly released apricot preserve. Meghan, 43, had claimed last week the first batches of the apricot preserve and other new treats had sold out within hours of release online. But one tough food critic told the media she felt the jam was "a real disappointment" upon reviewing the fruity spread. Donna Collins blasted the jam, describing it as "too runny" to work. And mother-of-two Meghan faces more scrutiny today after it has emerged The Republic of Tea, which produces the jam, is based 2,000 miles from Montecito, quite the contrast to the homely image the duchess has presented in marketing for the preserve. A source close to the duchess said in order to formulate the commercial product, As Ever started with the spread Meghan makes at home "and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale". Meghan's website, though, describes her "signature" raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a fluid texture". On her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she described harvesting berries and making small batches of jars in her kitchen, adding: "I did save one of 50 for my mom." However, a source close to Meghan has confirmed to the Daily Mail that The Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread, but a new supplier would soon be used. The Republic of Tea's headquarters is in Larkspur, California, 350 miles from Meghan's mansion - but the factory in which the jam is said to be made is in Illinois, which is in the Midwestern United States. In a statement given to the Mail, Netflix said: "Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever product throughout the year and beyond."

Starmer demands BBC explanation for broadcasting Bob Vylan's 'appalling' chant
Chanting on a stage at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan called for the death of Israeli soldiers, footage which was available on BBC iPlayer until the corporation took it down Keir Starmer has demanded BBC bosses "explain" how a punk duo calling for the death of Israeli soldiers was broadcast from Glastonbury. Pro-Palestine act Bob Vylan chanted "death, death to the IDF" in a sickening rant on stage at the festival. Bobby Vylan, singer and guitarist of the duo, has since posted a defiant message on Instagram, despite police confirming officers are looking into his tirade. And the Prime Minister, who also said Glastonbury Festival organisers should not have let controversial rappers Kneecap appear on stage, has described Bob Bylan's words as "appalling hate speech". Mr Starmer, 62, said: "There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast." The BBC, which did not stream Kneecap live, conceded comments made by Bob Vylan were "deeply offensive". The duo's performance is no longer available to watch on BBC iPlayer. Event chiefs said they were "appalled" after the music double act led the crowd in "death to the IDF" chants during their performance. Glastonbury had previously said all are welcome at the festival but added it "does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence of any kind from its performers". Referring to Bob Vylan, Glastonbury organisers said on Sunday: "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." Israeli politicians, including the country's deputy foreign minister, Sharren Haskel, blasted the BBC and Glastonbury for failing to cut off the performance during the live broadcast. The singer from the pro-Palestine punk act, who keeps his identity secret, also shouted "from the river to the sea Palestine... will be free" - regarded by Jews as a call for Israel 's elimination. IDF stands for Israel Defence Forces, the national military of the State of Israel, which is currently involved with the war in Gaza, one of two remaining Palestinian territories. Avon and Somerset Police are now examining video evidence and investigating if any offence had been committed. However, Bobby Vylan has since said on Instagram: "I said what I said." The dad shared a lengthy statement to follow up, in which he stated: "Tomorrow it is a change in foreign policy." A BBC spokesperson said: "We have made an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on iPlayer, as part of our online collection of more than 90 other sets. "We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury's West Holts stage. "As with all content which includes strong language, this is signposted with appropriate warnings. As we have said before, acts are booked by the festival, and the BBC doesn't ban artists. We didn't stream Kneecap live. "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand."
